Chapter 949: Destroy Chu

In Xianyang City, it was already night time. The bright moon was hanging high in the sky outside, covering the earth with a coat of cold light.

Even though it was time for others to sleep, Ying Zheng, as the king of a country, was still reviewing the bamboo slips.

The soldiers at the front were in short supply. Even though the Qin State was far superior to other countries, the food reserves consumed after one battle after another were enough to make Ying Zheng feel distressed.

A eunuch next to him reminded him, "Your Majesty, you have reviewed more memorials today than yesterday. You should rest!"

Ying Zheng nodded, too lazy to go back to the palace. He planned to stay here for one night so that he could attend the morning court directly tomorrow.

A ray of light flashed, and Xiao Zhen appeared in the palace.

Ying Zheng frowned and immediately grasped the sword.

"Who are you, old man? Why did you trespass into my palace?"

Xiao Zhen lightly pointed his finger at the air, and soon the surroundings seemed to be shrouded by a layer of mysterious power. No sound from outside could be heard in the palace.

The old eunuch was about to scream, but then his brain went dizzy and he collapsed onto the table.

After doing all this, Xiao Zhen sat cross-legged at the table with a gentle expression and pointed to the right.

"Don't worry, King Qin. I have no ill intentions. I came here just to make a deal with the Qin State."

Ying Zheng loosened the sword in his hand. Although he couldn't see the strength of the old man in front of him clearly, he was definitely far superior to Gai Nie.

Once the two sides become enemies, they will definitely be the ones who are unlucky.

"Well, since you have come to the Qin Palace alone, I am willing to have a night talk with you."

Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "At present, Qin has already destroyed Han, Zhao, and Wei. I wonder where they will send their troops next?"

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said seriously: "Among the remaining three countries, the only one that can pose a threat to my Qin State is Chu, so everyone in the court has decided to destroy Chu first, and then deal with Yan and Qi."

Xiao Zhen nodded, then asked, "I wonder how many troops the king has decided to use to destroy Chu?"

After hesitating for a while, Ying Zheng told his ministers what he had discussed before.

"General Li Xin is the leader of the younger generation of our Qin State. Two months later, he will lead 20 elite troops to destroy the Chu State in one fell swoop."

In fact, before this, Ying Zheng wanted to send the mature and steady veteran Wang Jian as the chief commander. Unfortunately, the old guy said that it would be impossible to defeat the State of Chu without 60 troops.

Of course Ying Zheng would not agree. After all, the food, drink, defecation and urination of 60 people is not a small number.

Only when you manage a household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. After making a comparison, of course you will choose the one that is more cost-effective.

So when another young general jumped out and said that the task could be completed with only 20 people, Ying Zheng agreed without thinking twice.

Xiao Zhen said calmly: "In this battle, the Qin army will definitely lose!"

Ying Zheng frowned, wondering if this was a curse on his Qin State, or if this old gentleman was also well versed in military tactics.

Xiao Zhen was too lazy to continue talking. A small light spot formed in his hand and quickly entered Ying Zheng's mind.

A scene consisting of words and narration vaguely echoed in Ying Zheng's mind.

Starting from the subsequent war to destroy Chu, in the end King Ziying of Qin was beheaded by Xiang Yu, and then the entire city of Xianyang was massacred.

As a martial arts world with a fantasy color, the specific direction of Qin's Moon will definitely not be the same as history, but it will generally follow the general trend.

After receiving all the memory scenes, Ying Zheng raised his head with red eyes. He couldn't believe that he unified the world and established the Qin Empire, but it was destroyed in 14 years.

You have to know that the foundation of the Qin Dynasty was the result of the hard work of several generations, but in the end it was all destroyed by a eunuch and a rebellious son.

At the same time, looking at Xiao Zhen, Ying Zheng felt as if he had found a life-saving straw and said respectfully:

"I'm sorry for my neglect before. If you are willing, I am willing to be your national teacher and we can rule the world together!"

As a supreme ruler, Ying Zheng was suspicious in his heart.

But his intuition told him that if he continued to follow the predetermined trajectory of fate, the Qin Dynasty would most likely perish.

Xiao Zhen no longer pretended and said frankly: "Since I am here, of course I have my own requirements. The position of the national teacher is not important. The world belongs to the king alone. And I just hope to collect more medicinal materials through the future unified Qin Empire."

"Okay, I agree!"

Ying Zheng agreed very readily, demonstrating his decisiveness as an emperor, which made Xiao Zhen very satisfied.

The cooperation between the two parties was quickly reached, and Xiao Zhen became the national teacher of Qin State with the appearance of an immortal old man.

Seeing that there is a new national master in their family, of course some people will feel curious and questioning.

After all, although this was a superstitious ancient time, there were too many charlatans who pretended to be gods and played tricks, so some important figures didn't really buy into the ghosts and gods.

As for the upcoming battle to destroy Chu, General Li Xin was as confident as his name, and was just about to tell his king that he was ready to go to war.

As a result, Ying Zheng suddenly changed his mind and immediately stated that he would raise more troops and food supplies. General Wang would go to the battle, and Li Xin would be his deputy.

Although Li Xin was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to disobey the king's order.

Ying Zheng was still a little worried, so he took out six thousand-year-old medicinal herbs from the royal treasury and gave them to Xiao Zhen, hoping that the national teacher could lend a helping hand to General Wang.

In fact, this was also a test. Ying Zheng wanted to see whether this national teacher, in addition to being able to predict the future, was worthy of the status of national teacher in other aspects.

Xiao Zhen was very satisfied with Ying Zheng's generosity, and was also surprised that the Qin treasury could produce so many thousand-year-old medicinal herbs at once. In this respect, it really beat South Korea.

Before the war between Qin and Chu began, Xiao Zhen created a cloud of poisonous smoke and pushed it directly towards the Chu army's camp.

The Chu army soldiers who were preparing food early in the morning suddenly found that the fog was particularly heavy today.

As the fog gradually enveloped the entire camp, soon one soldier after another felt something was wrong. Their legs and feet became weaker and weaker, and they couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands.

Wang Jian had been staying with Xiao Zhen the entire time. He only saw the imperial teacher gently wave his hand and summon up the mysterious smoke.

As a result, the news was received the next day that all the soldiers in the Chu army camp had collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Zhen drank a mouthful of meat porridge calmly, and smiled at Wang Jian who was stunned beside him:

"Old General, send someone to clean up the mess. Those Chu soldiers are still alive, but don't kill them. They will be needed when we build bridges and roads in the future."

Wang Jian nodded, and looked at Xiao Zhen with more respect.

The Qin army marched into the Chu army's camp in a mighty procession, staring at the Chu soldiers who were all lying on their backs with their arms and legs spread out but their eyes were still darting around.

The higher-ups have ordered us to capture them alive. They will be free labor in the future and must not be wasted.

They had to capture two or three hundred thousand people at once, and the ropes they brought were not enough, so they had to use local materials and cut some tents and clothes into strips.

This time, even the Chu army's great marshal Xiang Yan could not escape the disaster. In immense humiliation, he was tied up tightly with iron chains by two Qin soldiers and sent back to his own camp.

The King of Chu in the rear had just received the news when he learned that the old General Xiang Yan, whom he had placed high hopes on, had been captured alive by the Qin State, and the army on the front line was completely wiped out without even a splash.

In an instant, the entire Chu sky was shrouded in haze. Some smart men also felt the crisis of national destruction and began to flee the capital that was about to turn into a battlefield.

When the Qin army approached the capital of Chu, before Wang Jian gave the order to attack, the city gates opened by themselves.

A group of nobles gathered their family servants and rushed through the soldiers at the city gate, ready to welcome their new master.

Wang Jian felt that everything was going too smoothly, and was afraid that the open city gate ahead was a trap.

However, the opportunity was rare, so the old general sent a pair of vanguards to occupy the city gate.

Xiao Zhen did everything in secret and returned directly to Xianyang City without saying hello to Wang Jian.

It wouldn't take much effort to use powerful mental brainwashing to change the thoughts of the patriarchs of several large families in the Chu State.

As for whether the people below are patriotic or not, in the face of the family's interests, nothing is worth mentioning.

Xiang Yan, the famous general of the Chu State, who was tied up with layers of chains, watched with his own eyes as the capital was opened by a traitor and countless Qin troops swarmed into the city. Tears welled up in his tiger eyes.

Wang Jian, wearing heavy black armor, asked excitedly: "General Xiang, the Chu State is finished. I wonder if you, the Xiang family, are willing to serve the Qin State. You should know that our king has always respected talents. If you are willing to restore, this old man can..."

Xiang Yan was obviously unwilling to accept the fate of the Chu State's demise, and could not help but roar to the sky:

"My Chu State has millions of patriots. How can you kill them all? One day, the Chu people will enter Xianyang City with anger and completely destroy the Qin people's world. Even if there are only three households left in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin!"

After roaring, Xiang Yan found the right moment and knocked down a Qin soldier who was guarding him.

He grabbed the bronze sword that fell beside him tightly and cut his throat directly.

The warm blood was spilled on the land of Chu, and soon Xiang Yan was completely dead.

Wang Jian knew that he could not stop an old general from committing suicide for his country. He was also a hero who appreciated another hero. He then ordered a grand funeral for Xiang Yan, which was considered as the final respect for this opponent.
